The Mental Health Toll of Diaper Need

The Mental Health Toll of Diaper Need

For caregivers, not being able to provide basic hygiene supplies for their child can cause significant emotional distress. Anxiety, guilt, and shame often accompany diaper need.

The CDC recognizes that financial stress and unmet child care needs are major contributors to caregiver burnout and depression.

Postpartum Support International also links material insecurity—like diaper need—to increased risk of postpartum depression and anxiety.

When parents are mentally unwell, it can affect the child’s emotional development. Ensuring families have what they need improves both physical and emotional outcomes.
